Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Picking Up My Daughter
When it came to Mianmian not wanting to go to kindergarten, Xiao Li wouldn’t indulge her. No matter how much fuss she made, Xiao Li would still make her go.
The last time Mianmian had a bit of a cold, she tried to take advantage of her discomfort to skip kindergarten, but Xiao Li didn’t agree. She gave Mianmian medicine, handed the teacher the medicine Mianmian needed to take at noon, and asked the teacher to help. Then she sent Mianmian to kindergarten anyway.
Xiao Li wanted Mianmian to understand that going to kindergarten was something she had to do; she couldn’t just go or not go as she pleased.
She also wanted Mianmian to know that a minor cold or small illness wasn’t a big deal. She couldn’t use feeling a little uncomfortable as an excuse to avoid kindergarten.
After a period of guidance from Xiao Li, Mianmian no longer made excuses not to go to kindergarten.
It’s just that she never seemed very enthusiastic about going.
Previously, she’d be a little unhappy, but lately, that had improved.
Qin Xiao said, "On the way to sending Mianmian to kindergarten today, she told me that a new boy joined her class yesterday, a boy who looks like a doll.
Now she really likes going to kindergarten. This morning, she was the one urging me to leave."
Xiao Li, upon hearing this, forgot to drink the milk she was holding and blinked, "Uncle, Mianmian didn’t take anything strange to kindergarten today, did she?"
Qin Xiao shook his head, "No, I checked her backpack."
As soon as Qin Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Li’s phone rang...
Xiao Li saw it was Teacher Li calling, handed the phone to Qin Xiao directly, "You answer it!"
Teacher Li was Mianmian’s class teacher at kindergarten.
Qin Xiao picked up the phone and answered, resigned, "Hello, teacher!"
"Uh-huh...
Okay...
Got it,
I’ll be right there."
Qin Xiao hung up the phone and looked at Xiao Li, "Let’s go! Let’s fetch our daughter."
Xiao Li chuckled lightly upon hearing this, went upstairs to change into some going-out clothes, and then followed Qin Xiao out the door.
The car took about twenty minutes to reach the kindergarten. After parking, the two of them headed to the school entrance.
After identifying themselves to the security guard, they entered the kindergarten and headed to the teacher’s office.
Before they even reached the office, they heard a shrill female voice cursing, "What kind of kindergarten is this? How dare you label this broken place as a prestigious institution?
My young master has only been here for a day, and he’s already been bullied like this.
What kind of teacher are you? Is this how you take care of children?
Let me tell you, if you don’t give us a satisfactory explanation, our master and madam will certainly expose you. Our madam is a top-tier celebrity.
She has millions of followers; once she exposes this on her official website, your kindergarten won’t be able to operate anymore.
And you, this little girl, so young and already not learning good behavior, bullying classmates at such a young age. She’ll definitely grow up to be a delinquent."
Qin Xiao and Xiao Li entered the office just as the woman was accusing Mianmian.
Xiao Li heard the woman calling Mianmian a delinquent and curled her lips, "Where did this dog come from, barking nonsense here?"
Teacher Li smiled quickly upon seeing Xiao Li, "Mianmian’s mom, you’re here."
Xiao Li smiled back at Teacher Li, walked over to Mianmian, and brought her close.
Earlier, when the woman was shouting terrible things, she tried to poke Mianmian as she spoke. Teacher Li noticed and swiftly shielded Mianmian.
The woman, upon hearing Teacher Li and seeing Mianmian nestled against Xiao Li, realized Xiao Li was Mianmian’s mother and quickly said, "So you’re this girl’s mother! Tell me, how do you plan to explain this?"
Xiao Li glanced at her coldly, "Explain?
First of all, do we even know what really happened here?
Who owes who an explanation is yet to be determined.
And more importantly, who do you think you are to demand an explanation from me or to insult my daughter?"
The woman raised her voice, "Your daughter injured my young master, so what if I scold her? I haven’t even hit her yet!"
Both Xiao Li and Qin Xiao’s expressions turned cold upon hearing this.
Teacher Li, standing by, looked at the woman with a hint of pity after listening to her.
Xiao Li spoke coldly, "Young master, so you’re just a dog of his family!
I have no interest in talking with a dog."
Xiao Li turned to Teacher Li, "Didn’t you notify his parents?"
Teacher Li replied warmly, "I did, but his parents are filming in another city and can’t come back immediately, so..."
Before Teacher Li could finish, the woman interrupted again, "Do you know who my master and madam are? They’re top actors Cai Ying and renowned director Shao Gu.
Do you know how many fans they have?
If my madam posts about this online, just wait for the backlash."
Xiao Li, hearing this, couldn’t be bothered to talk to this ignorant woman anymore.
She glanced at Qin Xiao, and he picked up his phone to make a call.
While Qin Xiao was on the phone, Xiao Li asked Teacher Li, "Teacher Li, what exactly happened in this situation?"
Teacher Li smiled, "I’ve spoken to both of them. It’s really not entirely Qin Chu’s fault.
This morning, Qin Chu arrived and wanted to play with Shao Yang when he saw him.
Zhao Yang’s hair is naturally curly, and Qin Chu probably found it fun and tried to clip his little hairpin on Zhao Yang’s hair.
Zhao Yang just transferred to our class yesterday and isn’t familiar with the kids yet.
When Qin Chu suddenly touched his hair, Zhao Yang wasn’t used to it and tried to dodge, accidentally falling and hitting his head.
Truthfully, it wasn’t intentional on Qin Chu’s part today, but since Shao Yang fell, I had Qin Chu apologize to him earlier.
Qin Chu obediently apologized, and the two children made up by shaking hands. Now it’s just Shao Yang’s guardian who has some complaints."
As soon as Teacher Li finished speaking, the woman chimed in, "What this teacher is saying is strange. My young master’s head got hurt, and a mere apology suffices?
If that’s the case, should I also push that girl down, let her get hurt, and then just say sorry?"
Xiao Li couldn’t help but chuckle in anger, "Your young master fell by himself, it wasn’t because my daughter pushed him. The apology is because even though it was unintentional, she was still the initial cause.
What you’re suggesting is intentionally harming someone; how can they be the same!"
Just as the woman was about to argue further, her phone rang. After taking a call, she fell silent, and soon after, the door to the office opened to reveal a tall woman wearing a mask and sunglasses, accompanied by a middle-aged man.
